52nd Echizen Coast Narcissus Festival

About this event

The Echizen Coast is renowned as a natural habitat for Japanese narcissus, counted alongside Awaji Island and the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture as one of the Three Great Wild Narcissus Colonies in Japan, boasting the largest area in the country. In particular, the Japanese narcissus blooming along the Echizen Coast is known as "Echizen Suisen" and has been designated as the prefectural flower of Fukui and the town flower of Echizen-cho. The "Narcissus Festival" takes place against the backdrop of this coast. During the festival period, local product fairs and narcissus-themed events are held centering around the coastal areas of Echizen-cho, Minamiechizen-cho, and Fukui City. As main events, the "Koshino Narcissus Festival" (Koshino District, Fukui City), "Aranami Festa" (Kono District, Minamiechizen-cho), "Echizen Narcissus Fair" (Echizen-cho), and "Narcissus Ikebana Exhibition" (Fukui Shimbun) are held in each respective area. In conjunction with the narcissus blooming season, a variety of events take place, including complimentary Echizen narcissus gifts, mochi throwing, raffles, crab soup, sales of local specialties and gourmet food, and flower arrangement exhibitions featuring narcissus.
